This is the best summary I could come up with:
Authorities in Germany's southeastern state of Bavaria announced on Tuesday that they will ban smoking cannabis at the popular Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich.
Cannabis consumption would be banned in beer gardens, at public festivals and on restaurant terraces if the plan comes into effect.
Clemens Baumgärtner, the head of Oktoberfest, told the web.de news portal he wanted to keep the festival cannabis-free.
"Bavaria is strengthening the protection of children and young people," said Bavarian Premier Markus Söder, also of the CSU.
"Our aim is to limit cannabis consumption in public spaces," said Bavarian Health Minister Judith Gerlach.
In Germany, adults over 18 are allowed to carry 25 grams of dried cannabis and keep up to three marijuana plants at home for personal use.
